before the euro two thousand and twelve a football championships turns into a p.r. disaster after animal rights groups accuse the government of burning stray dogs alive. and broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow this is r.t. certainly glad to have you with us let's get right to your top stories a global outcry against corporate greed has risen up in almost a thousand cities worldwide people have taken their anger to the streets saying their governments have been taken over by big business the occupy wall street movement began in new york quickly spreading across the u.s. to los angeles denver and washington among others it has since gone global with asia joining in the demands for change in europe to hundreds of cities are taking part in the protests we'll be hearing from our correspondents around the world but first we're going to go back to new york in times square where

a huge police presence including anti-terrorism units have been deployed as almost new year's eve size crowds have gathered archies lucie county office has been there for us. very controversially. i don't care. what i'm good at st i'm actually. forty eight street and. you can't look bringing me up into rock but what. i need between. you. and i keep out your chair. and keep. richard on short. as we. try to higher rank and mean i'm going to be. playing record meeting right now to drinking and.

contradictory. and create in a way. letting us. mark mark mark out down in court but we are gathered here. and we were. chanting. proclamation at the march. he stared at it for. a little bit if you can at the right we are around and here holding holding the ground i'm going to. have our. reporting forces there and we have more details on what's happening there in new york for that we go to marina for the latest. sparked tension was probably the fact that the n.y.p.d. the new york city police department was overwhelmed with the unprecedented amount

of people that turned out in support of this occupied movement i don't think even journalists were prepared for a crowd this large the sidewalks were packed everybody standing shoulder to shoulder there were also helicopters flying in the air overhead above the crowd and this was a crowd that while i was there was protesting peacefully there were police officers telling some protesters if you leave now you won't get hurt one journalist had his press pass confiscated by the police officers because he for failing to remain on the sidewalk we did see some party wagons coming we did see some riot police before the environment got as tense as it has i did get an opportunity to speak with many people in the crowd and i think it's a very powerful message. i think you can do a message that is going to continue to people are just going to be joining and it's going to keep building until we understand constructing. working.

prime time for people because it would be what we what we. are the government without our money without our hard earned money there is no cure there is no government we can work and we get it back it's not right clear why the amount of police officers and counterterrorism units have turned out in times square and are trying to break apart this demonstration but what is clear is that these activists remained while i was there to stand their ground and hopefully this will all end in a nonviolent way but of course the police presence that is turning out in times square is clearly creating a very tense environment. for us there in new york and of course we will be keeping you updated on all of the events there in new york but now over to europe and here is a round up from our correspondents covering the situation there. well people are shelling

out slowly no sign of tiredness or so i would say a couple thousand camped out here in the central square of madrid and put it in the song and here is it as we have said before it looks like a power wall street movement has inspired thousands of people across the globe well there are some who believe that it all started right here in madrid in the middle of may one thousand the people have gathered to protest against at the government's austerity measures because as you may have heard the state is going through some incredibly hard financial times and they have been protesting for the last several months on and off in fact they have camped out here in the square for sarah for a month and a house just the summer and these people here believe that they're actually making a change in their voices are being heard let's out here to let's have a listen to what those activists from the fifteen m. movement had to say about their cause. of calls it isn't possible changes take time but we want those who are at the top understand the common people and

want change and how much we wanted them winners were but it was not just because i was job with several months ago many of my friends are out of work and the situation is rather difficult if you do nothing nothing will change but i thought if i was and we want a transparent result. we saw the arab spring then the spanish summer the american autumn and now will face a global winter a look like quite a have to go for these people hear what you have to understand for them it's not just a matter of corporate domination for them it's matter literally off surviving a lot of them have invested money and time into education we're talking about people who are twenty four to thirty five years old they're basically the are the people who should be moving forward but they cannot afford not just do they cannot get a job and therefore they cannot afford to get homes they cannot afford to start families so for them really it's a very significant issue so they are determined to make their voices heard and of course. they're at their concerns i mean was told over europe and r.t.

has correspondents in other cities as well let's get now the latest from marcos one is daniel bushell and i've heard that it's concord and brussels and launch and they will bring us the latest of what's happening in european countries crowds that this point the cold is getting bigger and it's getting angrier sheltering slogans against the banks and the governments which keep rescuing them with public money all solti's first tried to ban this grouping saying there was no running water for them which many stores excuse to stop them getting together but they have finally given in to the weight of numbers and they now plan all noise of cola with a calling which is full of the people in the interests of the people not the foreigners shal elites know the latest scandal is a big big sea of one of the buildings largest lenders which are has been bailed out just now by the government to the to the estimated over costing five thousand euros per taxpayer along saw it the c.e.o.

of that bank being promised for last year a bonus of six hundred thousand euros in practice for practically leading the bank to the brink of collapse you know the people have also been shocked by the e.u.'s reaction when it was almost about the significance of the protest a spokesperson for the european commission just also does it mean to us. the e.u. employment commissioner just the protest protest a should go to frankfurt instead across those trains being the home of the european central bank central to this euro crisis at the moment a national movement people are coming here from all across europe people of actually more just for months buy food for example from the likes of spain to get here seen brussels really is the heart of the e.u. and the problem here. for the last part the protests today have been very peaceful but the atmosphere here is just suddenly the last few moments going to lose. more tense that's because the police which are in still in fast numbers here and you can

see the line of police vans behind me the protesters together behind there the police have been trying to disperse the last few remaining hundred hardcore protesters from the steps in front of the cathedral they say they're trying to disperse and peacefully they set up a cordon around the not letting anyone into that cordon but they want to people to leave but they did as they started to disperse those people on the on the paving the protesters they didn't want to move they say they have a right to remain on the on the sidewalk there and to carry out their protest peacefully. when they didn't move the. actions did escalate there was a lot of pushing and shoving a rest were made i think in see some of those pictures now a lot of shouting police brought out dogs as well and and as the crowd chanted shame on you to the police is there the temp of the atmosphere got a lot a lot more tense now not quite sure is going to happen now because the what the police want to do is disperse these protests because they say this is private

property they have no right to remain here and as for the protesters earlier today there were reports of almost three thousand people being present there certainly well over a thousand talking to them in terms of and make an end goal is their kind of pass a little bit disorganized but to actually see realize that's not really the point the point of why they hated days is because it's just to register their anger and that's really was galvanizing over the manga that their money taxpayers' money is continuing to be spent on bailing out banks they're angry that the people in charge of those banks are still getting bonuses and they see that as the architects of the economic disaster as it is being rewarded now also just generally angry at the way the country's being run and the phrases being continuously used today in terms of a slogan for today's action is we are the ninety nine percent they say they are there they make up the vast majority of this country they have no control of how the country is being run today they say this is their chance to strike by this. what some of them have to say. good sleeping great disciple takes

a cigarette so it goes over they can secure food they stay the longest days possible the slogan the began on wall street we are the ninety nine percent oppose in britain as well because we know the bankers and the bosses are getting bailed out by the trough months and we are being forced to pay the price without speaking to people is really amazing that you can really get a sense that they think they really beginning just have a say here and they something will really change down to the really big name heels that people with change the setting up can get their way they might not be able to spend the night here but they're prepared to go somewhere else because they really think this is the start of something they could change something similar to the old my wall street heard from marine corps ny or new york and they compared it stay for as long as it takes until they have their voice heard or his correspondents covering events in europe bennett daniel bushell and even if they're now sticking

with europe a role model also witnessed occupy wall street movement protests during the turning violent as tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the italian capital venting their fury against corporate greed demonstrators smashed shop windows and torched cars before being dispersed by police using tear gas and water cannon plumes of smoke were seen a billing near the coliseum and other parts of the city some museums were also forced to close down and at least one theater transferred the show great c.e.o. . a journalist stand presenters says that a more radical element has hijacked the protests. there were more street show one huge demonstration a one hundred thousand people will look at the words exactly the same like in my three in kenya and those people with no future but educated people with a big university degree. not. and that was the majority of the people then that was

a know they were going with each of the five on the so-called black blogs they were in the beginning it was station and they started to attack police and police reacted very mildly because they used to. know really maybe water cannons the knights the could but their yearly reaction of the police was a very. common not that not exaggerated. and taking a look now at other protests worldwide as we see how far the demonstrations have spread protesters gathered in berlin sparking clashes between police and demonstrators after they tried to break through security barriers surrounding the parliament in athens thousands rallied outside the parliament raging against the bankers financier's and politicians they accuse of ruining their economy and condemning millions to poverty people have also taken to the streets in tokyo

protesting against the big business and income inequality as well as expressing anger at nuclear power companies and taiwan's capital taipei also played host to an occupy movement many rallied outside the city's financial tower which they view as a symbol of corporate excess. the echoes of this global movement have also been heard in the middle east where he's powerless leader is in israel and witnessed the demonstrations in tel aviv. planters of people also gathering here in tel aviv where many of the faces are familiar as the organizers of the social protest movement that has been taking place across this country for several months now have given a full weight and backing to this global movement in fact as you can see there hundreds of people here they've mobilized themselves once again on line at the moment they're holding small discussion groups talking about issues such as tackling poverty been part of this international movement when you talk to people here they say that while it's a pity that they're not really actively participating in these wall street protests

they certainly support them and the protests and the demonstrations here in israel will continue to grow and tell the government meets they demands i think that we need to continue in have some demonstration you know big events like this one or smaller events but we need to keep in the mind of the people to know that we still don't have any solution we still don't have anything from the government that are specific and purpose aleutian for the situation we we are only into it but certain occupy wall street here in israel has been translated into occupied child boulevard boulevard in the street where for nearly three months protesters pitched tents in defiance against this country's socio economic policies earlier this month those tents did come down after an extensive court battle between the television municipality and the demonstrators so certainly here in this role we're witnessing people very much part of this global movement you need to remember that the last few months have seen the a largest demonstrations in this country's sixty three year old history with nearly a million people taking to the streets policia r.t.

tel aviv. i'm in it with our correspondents covering the protests on our twitter feeds the is the latest from lucy cavanagh's that live feed from new york she is reporting on what's happening on the ground including how the crowd are being kettle the behind railings with one officer even telling the crowd well if they don't clear the area then if someone is going to get hurt. two other news at this hour with over three thousand people killed in syria since anti regime it demonstrations began seven months ago the u.n. rights chief has warned that the country is heading for a full blown civil war the unrest is showing no sign of mourning is people in the capital are calling for dialogue while other parts of the country demand the end of president assad's rule artie's terms are sillier filed this report for us from the syrian capital damascus. well here in the center of the syrian capital it is very quiet today it's

a day off for most people but of course beneath that calmness the conflict in the country goes on between the government and its supporters and the opposition now what it one thing is clear though when we try to approach people here and bring up the issue of the cause they could almost always into a heated debate a very emotional discussion depending on the standard they take who of the three weeks at least i see that there are poor inaudible positions we don't know who they are yet syria's undercharge for storms but we will not give up in the in the good look i was the opposition comes down be rational and go into dialogue with the regime i was the government of the opposition and be more open minded. but again we are going to mass the opinion we hear most here is that people are asking who is the opposition who is causing this instability and many of them bring up the words armed gangs they think that these are just people who want to destabilize a country of course this is a position that the government had taken from the very beginning of the conflict but it is a different story when you go outside of the capital where the city of understand

it was decided five days of fighting the tree security forces and anti-government protesters and we felt the tension there there were still a lot of our forces according to force again the government be said that they were fighting against armed groups and were trying to create trouble for the locals there that according to some activists and they are saying that these are not armed groups of these were peaceful protesters as well as army defectors from the strong army educating the character contingent in the interest on it's very difficult to verify the exactly what happened in the city because people are very hesitant to talk to get a result lot of military the army still in that city of but that is what's happening on the ground it's not very clear it's hard to get the truth on each matter but on the political level though president bashar al assad has said that he will set up a constitutional committee within the next couple of days to debate with the opposition various sides of the opposition. constitutional reform is not the dialogue should have a program and

a timeline we must clearly understand what kind of results we want to achieve now one of the sticking points of the constitutional reforms is article eight which case of the ruling baath party is the leader of the state to the opposition says that this no matter even if a multi-party system is introduced without repealing this article it won't change anything again that depends on the dialogue that both sides are going to have to take and both sides through and see all the governments the size always say at the end of the day it's not what is said it's this is therapy both sides in doing what they see it will do so it's down to the action in the next few months these talks are solely our reporting for us there now you can get more stories i count in video blogs and analysis all fair point four seven at r.t. dot com here's just some of what's online for you right now. moscow's are preparing a response to washington's planned missile defense system in europe which it sees as a threat to national security. and find out why one of the coldest and most inhospitable

places in europe now extends a warm welcome to hundreds of immigrants from around the world that's on line at our feet up. in preparation for next year's at euro two thousand and twelve football tournament ukraine is it cleaning up and that includes clearing the streets of any stray dogs which locals say in some cases the animals are not being properly euthanized and are burned alive you may find some of the images and alexei yosh of his report disturbing. he waives us president michel platini was all smiles while inspecting cleaves new stadium the grounds of the euro twenty well football championships final match but a box of a much smaller size has been delighting the authorities in rural ukraine several months ago local t.v. in the town of recent shuns capital reported a purchase over twenty thousand dollar mobile crematorium for destroying biological waste namely the dispensing of dead straight animals. we put

discriminatory among wheels and are now able to cull the large areas including neighboring towns we had many objections but they all come to nothing in our fight against the lights from stray dogs and the spread of infection tens of thousands of stray animals roaming the streets of ukraine cities in this accounts cologne hundreds of residents are bitten by dogs every year it sounds of thora these plans to first shoot the animals dead and then destroy their bodies in a more vile comments but in reality it turned into gruesome killings sparking outrage among the animal protection societies because there's a tradition the locals believe that the dogs are still alive but we don't have any evidence of what poison is used to kill them so we cannot say for sure the only official way of regulating the number of these animals is to sterilize rather than to kill them and we will stop demanding this happens in europe improved if you should over the past few decades stray animals practically disappeared there. the

animal lovers outcry had a massive response on the internet and online petition was signed by almost two hundred thousand people some of them suggesting you were twenty twelve should not be held in a country that is so cool to its creatures that the people who demand to cancel your two thousand and twelve is not unexpected as a rule letters from citizens don't work back in two thousand and ten animal defenders addressed officials of mr platini then our deputy prime minister kalashnikov. to stop this outrage against animals it's been a year and we haven't seen any results so far and it has been a sustained campaign at getting you a fence chief to use his influence to stop this cruelty animal rights groups have been staging small protests against cruelty put three years but the multiplying number of those signing the petition now would alarm europeans governing body at first there had been strong doubts about ukraine's ability to host the championship

some had even suggested it be moved elsewhere now with all the new stadiums in airports springing up it seems there is no going back even with all the cost to deprive ukraine of the tournament but animal rights activists say they will continue putting pressure on the authorities both in clear and add to have their voice heard. and look serious f.t. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine now let's take a look at some other headlines in brief from around the world. and actual leaders from the world's twenty richest nations met in paris to try and find a solution to the world's financial woes the delegates pledged to siphon cash into the i.m.f. to ensure it was able to bolster the flagging economies of the euro zone's most unstable countries the u.s. opposes the fund the coffin of more money as it has already met about a third of the cost of bailing out struggling nations france is the finance minister called for decisive measures to tackle the eurozone debt crisis. meanwhile
